Day 12

Day 12: Something you don’t leave the house without. Source: parkavenueprincess.tumblr.com via Alexandria on Pinterest  My purse!

Day 10: Something you’re afraid of…

What am I afraid of? If I wanted to get off easy with this post I could simply say that I’m only still slightly afraid of the dark – and dark mirrors don’t do much for me (the legend of Bloody Mary was never put to the test in my adolescence). I could do a […]
